If they went to other caves, where would they find branches? He was shivering from the cold. It would be like killing him if he were to pick up more branches. How could he do that?
âEh, there are some branches here. Can we start a fire?â Xinyan was feeling cold as well-Lin Yi had used his Qi to protect her, but she still felt the chill in this empty Valley.
âWeâll split it in half when we meet!â Zhaolong yelled as he ran over, panting. His heart was bleeding-he found the branch, after all, and he had to give Lin Yi half of it. He didnât dare to refuse since Xinyan âfoundâ it first, after all.
âOh, then Iâll give you half.â Lin Yi said faintly. He could tell with one look that this branch was man-made-who else could it be but Zhaolong?
âHehe âŠâ Zhaolong didnât stand on ceremony.âBy the way, do you have a lighter? Why donât we just use this fire? Iâll start a fire, and we can all warm up together without separating. How about it?â
âOh, okay.â Lin Yi didnât want to freeze Zhaolong to death in a situation like this. After all, boss Bai was very concerned about the harmony between his disciples, and Lin Yi respected him more. Boss Baiâs background wasnât simple, either, and Lin Yi didnât dare to disobey him.
âThen I wonât be polite!â Zhaolong was overjoyed. He took out a lighter from his pocket and crouched in front of the branch, ready to light it.
âYouâre quite well-equipped, huh? You donât smoke, but you carry a lighter with you? You prepared this long ago, right?â Lin Yi looked at Zhaolong, stunned.âHe wanted to have a romantic cave night with Wang Xinyan, I didnât expect to join.â
Zhaolong was a little embarrassed, but couldnât deny it. He looked at Xinyanâs unhappy face, and thought that heâd gone for wool and came home shorn today. He wouldnât have carried out this plan if heâd known.
However, something even more unfortunate was yet to come. Zhaolongâs face froze as he flicked the lighter. The lighter was soaked in water and it didnât work!
âArenât you lighting the fire? Whatâs wrong?â Lin Yi looked at Zhaolong with a half-smile.
âWater âŠâ Zhaolong said with a pale face.
âSince you canât contribute, then thereâs no other way. Donât you enjoy this fire anymore.â Lin Yi said faintly.
âYou ⊠You have a way?â Zhaolong paused, looking at Lin Yi.âYou have a lighter?â
âNo, I didn ât,â Lin Yi said, shaking his head.
âIf you don ât, why are you criticizing me?â âCan you fix the lighter for me?â Zhaolong said with a glare.
âYou can fix it yourself.â Lin Yi threw out a fire element refinement fire, and the pile of branches caught on fire with a whoosh. The fire was strong.
Only then did Zhaolong remember that Lin Yi was an Alchemist-he could create fire, so he didnât need a lighter at all. He thickened his skin and asked,âSince the heat from this fire is a waste if I donât use it, why donât you let me rub it?â
âSure, but youâll have to pick up the branches when they run out.â Lin Yi didnât kill them all.
âAlright, let me dry my clothes first.â Zhaolong agreed readily. These were the branches that he and right Panhu had picked up, and he knew where to find them.
Zhaolong was shivering as he warmed himself up by the fire. Xinyan had already recovered-she wasnât wet, just a little cold. She was fine.
âAre you hungry?â Lin Yi asked.
âIâm ⊠Iâm fine âŠâ Xinyan still couldnât let it go. She didnât like Zhaolong, but she was afraid that heâd do something to Lin Yi when he was desperate.
âIâll go and catch some fish. â Lin Yi said as he stood up.
âOkay ⊠Iâll sleep for a while then, Iâm a little sleepy âŠâ Xinyan found an excuse, not wanting to be alone with Zhaolong.
Zhaolong was speechless-he was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Yi was going to catch fish, but he didnât know what to say when he heard that Xinyan was going to sleep. He couldnât ask Xinyan to talk to him instead, could he?
After Lin Yi left, Xinyan closed her eyes and took a nap, leaving Zhaolong alone by the fire. He was drooling when he thought about the delicious grilled fish he was going to have! Although he had some chocolate and compressed biscuits in his backpack, how could they be as delicious as the grilled fish?
Lin Yi walked to the lakeside. Naturally formed lakes like this had some live fish. He walked carefully to the hole Zhaolong had smashed into, closed his eyes, and used the Jadeâs senses to catch fish. He caught four live fish in no time and took out a blade from his shoe to cut open their stomachs and clean them before returning to the cave.
Lin Yi didnât think Zhaolong would do anything to Xinyan, but he still wanted to be quick. He let out a breath of relief when he saw Xinyan still sleeping.
âYouâre back?â Xinyan opened her eyes at the sound of footsteps, and was overjoyed to see Lin Yi.
âYeah.â Lin Yi found a few branches and skewered the fish, roasting it on the fire.
Zhaolong didnât know what to say to Xinyan, whoâd been asleep for less than twenty minutes. It was obvious that she didnât want to talk to him! He could clearly feel that Xinyan had been a lot colder to him ever since the cable car incident.
Xinyan had kept her distance from him before, but it wasnât like now, where she didnât even want to talk to him.
Soon, the fish was done. There wasnât much seasoning, but it was still delicious. Zhaolong was drooling.âCan I eat it now?â
âItâs done, but you canât eat it,â Lin Yi said as he handed a grilled fish to Xinyan.
âW-why?â Zhaolongâs outstretched hand froze.
âIf you want to eat it, go get it yourself. Xinyan and I will each get two skewers, thereâs no share for you.â Lin Yi said as he started munching on a stick.
Zhaolong really wanted to grab a bunch of them, but he didnât dare to-he was afraid of getting beaten up. He forced a smile and made a face that looked worse than a crying face.âAlright âŠâ
âHeâs a bad person, but you donât have to be so harsh ⊠Weâre classmates, after all. â Xinyan didnât want Lin Yi to piss off Zhaolong too much.
âYou want to eat something and get it for free, how can there be such a cheap thing?â Lin Yi didnât mind.
Zhaolong didnât have Lin Yiâs strong senses, nor was he as agile as Lin Yi! (To be continued.)
